Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts; Dado Cutting - Grizzly G0690 Owner's Manual

Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts

When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjust-
ed (page 65), the blade tilt handwheel allows
the operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere
between 0° and 45°. this is used most often when
cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers.
Figure 58 shows an example of the blade when
tilted to 45°.

Dado Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a
straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece.
dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado
blade or a standard saw blade. Figure 59 shows
a cutaway view of a dado cut being made with a
dado blade.

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback
than normal blades because their larger size
applies stronger forces to the workpiece.
This risk increases relative to the depth and
width of the cut. To minimize your risk of
serious personal injury, ensure that stock
is flat and straight, and make multiple light
cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve
the desired cutting depth.
DO NOT make through cuts with a dado
blade. Dado blades are only intended for
non-through cuts. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious injury.
Never try to dado a warped board by holding
it down against the table. If kickback occurs,
your hand will likely be pulled into the blade,
resulting in serious personal injury.
